Braxton Hicks??

Do Braxton Hicks start this early? I'm 17 weeks, ever since I woke up I've been having tightening in my stomach. Some lower back cramping but nothing major. It's been coming and going all day, but I've never experienced Braxton Hicks through any of my other pregnancies. I'm drinking water and resting to see if it t stops but just curious if anyone else is experiencing these this early or should I go be seen?? Thanks

I asked my midwife at my 17+3 appointment, and she said BH are normal at this stage. I was told that as long as it does not become rhythmic, is not associated with pain, or is not associated with bright red bleeding, it's nothing to be concerned about.
